In this dispatch from Trading Under Fire, Major Gonzo breaks down:
*Why your perfect entry arrives already wounded
*How liquidity vanishes the second you need it
*The invisible tax that turns good setups into losses

If you’ve ever watched your fill drift worse than expected — then reverse the second your stop triggered — this one’s for you.
